through on the song creating a very strong start. As the song progresses, the bass drives through perfectly, allowing the vocalists to expand as they feel necessary. I loved the middle of the song as they broke it down, they kept it very simple and kept the listener intrigued. The break down also allows for a strong build-up to lead into the end of the song. It has a strong pop-punk vibe and Harry takes his vocal range higher than on any of the other songs. I loved the song, reminiscent of the good ‘ol days, but still it provided a new-age spin on the typical pop-rock feel.

 

For those nights when you feel like a good rock-out song for when you are pissed off or just done with dealing with the same shit every day, “Good For You,” is a perfect. With a legit intro from the drums and guitar, starting out simple then ripping it up, you are immediately drawn into how the song will develop. A punk-version of a broken-heart, it keys into main themes of missing someone, partying, coping and bitterness.  The chorus is the perfect counterpart for the verses and super easy to just jam out. Their sound is great, with great drumming that drive the heavy-hitter parts.

 

Providing a slightly different sound, the last song on the EP, “Spondylosis,” has a sly guitar start which is soon greeted with legit drumming to kick the song off into pop-punk rapture. Leading with lyrics “you’re not as perfect as you’d like to believe,” the song is equipped with a universal feeling that anyone could identify with. Jes and Harry have a wicked part similar to a call and response at the back end of the song that is perfect for a listener to sing along with.  I was super stoked on this song as it felt like it showcased the entire band the best through the variety of musical skills they each portrayed individually and together.

 

With the EP Light Years and Heavy Lifting dropping on May 30, it is definitely worth a listen if this is your genre of music. Keeping with the consistent pop-punk-rock sounds while putting their own spin and dope vocals on it makes me know that a live gig with this band would be incredible. If you want to hear more, they released a self-titled album in 2011 and will be performing in the East Coast area. With this EP and some more exposure, I would definitely look at for this band to become a force to be reckoned with at the national level.
